- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.88 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
1.00 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (70.5) beats batting average (38.6) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 18 matches (1.00 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 78 × 30% · Bowling 13 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 1.06 per match.
- Batting
- 569 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 38.6, strike rate 79.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.40 per match at 70.5, economy 5.88, strike rate 72.0.
