- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 6 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 21 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 (State competition 4 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.93 per match at 11.8, economy 3.75, strike rate 18.9.
