- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.6 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 30 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (State competition 7 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 30 matches — 0.40 per match at 37.5, economy 5.28, strike rate 42.6.
