- ● Regional representative — 32 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.6 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 54 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 23% 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 9 × 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 3rd grade 13 · Club 22 · 4th grade 14). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 6.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.64 per match at 24.2, economy 4.56, strike rate 31.9.
