- ● Premier or state pathway — 6 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
19 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 13 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 45 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 74 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (State competition 6 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 602 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 23.1, strike rate 64.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 2.00 per match at 8.3, economy 3.86, strike rate 12.8.
