- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.0 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 17% 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 13.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.07 per match at 13.8, economy 3.60, strike rate 23.0.
