- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 24 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Club 19). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 20.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 20.5 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
