- ● Premier or state pathway — 17 matches (+6.8)
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 15 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.08 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 24 matches (1.08 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 34 × 30% · 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
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 17 · Club 7). 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
- Keeping: 23 catches + 1 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 1.04 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 456 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 28.5, strike rate 52.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
