- ● Premier or state pathway — 29 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Bowling average (30.4) beats batting average (27.8) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 128.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 29 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 1,068 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 27.8, strike rate 60.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.56 per match at 30.4, economy 4.24, strike rate 43.1.
