- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 7 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 8 matches (0.88 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 76 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 1.00 per match.
- Batting
- 143 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 20.1, strike rate 58.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 8 matches — 1.38 per match at 20.6, economy 4.05, strike rate 30.5.
