- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
10 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.96 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 26 matches (0.96 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 14 catches + 5 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.85 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 16.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
