- ● Regional representative — 23 matches (+3.4)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.7 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
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 9.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.68.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 30 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.20 for the level played (5th grade and below 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 104 wickets in 30 matches — 3.47 per match at 9.8, economy 1.68, strike rate 35.2.
