- ● Premier or state pathway — 23 matches (+9.2)
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
19 of 24 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Bowling average (34.8) beats batting average (29.3) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 200.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.83 for the level played (1st grade 23 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 704 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 29.3, strike rate 71.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 24 matches — 1.33 per match at 34.8, economy 4.26, strike rate 48.9.
