- ● Premier or state pathway — 10 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.2 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.02 catches per match over 44 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 10 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.05 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.53 per match at 26.6, economy 4.64, strike rate 34.4.
