- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.7 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 11 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.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.78 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.78.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · Club 24). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 5.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 28 matches — 2.07 per match at 19.3, economy 2.78, strike rate 41.6.
