- ● Premier or state pathway — 25 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
15 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.43 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 30 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 1 · 4th grade 9). 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: 11 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 464 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 56.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.30 per match at 24.1, economy 3.43, strike rate 42.2.
