Critical recommendations
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.
0.67 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 130.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 21 matches (0.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.71 per match.
- Batting
- 499 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 33.2, strike rate 130.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.86 per match at 18.2, economy 3.49, strike rate 31.3.
