- ● Premier or state pathway — 43 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 39.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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 2.93 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.93.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 43 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 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 (Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 14). 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: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.06 per match at 21.3, economy 2.93, strike rate 43.6.
