- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 15.0 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 29 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 60.0 overs across 25 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
