- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 30 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.19 per match at 26.0, economy 4.65, strike rate 33.5.
