- ● Premier or state pathway — 22 matches (+8.8)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.58 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 28 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 6). 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: 19 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.79 per match.
- Batting
- 603 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 73.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 65.0 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
