- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 15 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 39 wickets from 200.8 overs across 28 matches — 1.39 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
