- ● Body of work — 81 imported matches (+1.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
46 of 65 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.89 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 142.
- ✓ Safe hands — 72 catches in 81 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting 73 × 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
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 65 catches + 6 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.89 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,538 runs in 77 innings, adjusted average 23.1, strike rate 61.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 10.5 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
