- ● Premier or state pathway — 15 matches (+6.0)
- ● Body of work — 66 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 64 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.81 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 66 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 51). 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: 27 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 1.07 per match at 26.0, economy 3.81, strike rate 40.9.
