- ● Premier or state pathway — 29 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 29 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 7 · 4th grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.15 per match at 25.3, economy 4.18, strike rate 36.3.
