- ● Premier or state pathway — 42 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.47 is excellent but a wicket every 65 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 42 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 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 28 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 12). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.90 per match at 37.4, economy 3.47, strike rate 64.7.
