- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 17 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.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 4.00 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.52 per match at 29.6, economy 4.00, strike rate 44.3.
