- ● Premier or state pathway — 15 matches (+6.0)
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.2 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 5 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.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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
- ×0.77 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 14 · Club 2). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 5.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 17 matches — 1.06 per match at 14.4, economy 2.64, strike rate 32.9.
