Critical recommendations
Only 0.11 catches per match over 18 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 106.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 355 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 74.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.44 per match at 13.1, economy 4.57, strike rate 17.3.
