- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 18 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 47 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.71 per match at 22.0, economy 3.44, strike rate 38.4.
