- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
28 of 40 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 143.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (State competition 5 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 1,584 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 38.0, strike rate 75.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 76 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.85 per match at 15.8, economy 4.23, strike rate 22.3.
