- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
6 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 48.4.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · 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
- ×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 4 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 372 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 48.4, strike rate 63.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
