- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 38 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 19 catches + 4 stumpings + 9 run outs (0 direct, 9 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.84 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 4.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
