- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Regional representative — 15 matches (+2.2)
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
12 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.16 dismissals per match across 19 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 112.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 141.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 83 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- 508 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 33.0, strike rate 112.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.47 per match at 22.3, economy 4.37, strike rate 30.6.
