- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
24 of 33 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 40 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.44 per match at 19.1, economy 4.01, strike rate 28.6.
