- ● Regional representative — 24 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.03 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.22 for the level played (Club 4 · 5th grade and below 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.10 per match at 21.6, economy 5.30, strike rate 24.4.
