- ● Premier or state pathway — 37 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 35.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
22 of 35 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.66 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 38 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 25 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 1). 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: 25 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.66 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.76 per match at 14.8, economy 3.09, strike rate 28.7.
