- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.3 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
17 of 30 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 24% 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 15.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 47). 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: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.52 per match at 15.6, economy 3.71, strike rate 25.2.
