- ● Premier or state pathway — 11 matches (+4.4)
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 36.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
2 of 4 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 8). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.12 per match at 13.2, economy 3.40, strike rate 23.3.
