- ● Premier or state pathway — 46 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.48 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 46 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (Rep Div 1 35 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 9). 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: 22 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.89 per match at 25.2, economy 3.96, strike rate 38.1.
