- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.5 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 3.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.88 per match at 17.2, economy 3.36, strike rate 30.8.
