- ● Premier or state pathway — 54 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 68 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 dismissals per match across 68 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 120.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · 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
- ×0.48 for the level played (1st grade 11 · 2nd grade 43 · Club 14). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 1,711 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 51.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
