- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Economy of 3.77 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 18 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 9). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 18 matches — 0.89 per match at 29.1, economy 3.77, strike rate 46.4.
