- ● Premier or state pathway — 11 matches (+4.4)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.3 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
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.
0.21 dismissals per match across 28 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 2 7 · Club 17). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.82 per match at 21.6, economy 3.55, strike rate 36.4.
