- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
4 of 7 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
1.1 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 412 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 26.6, strike rate 93.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.85 per match at 17.2, economy 5.32, strike rate 19.4.
