- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 48 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 1 · Club 43). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 877 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 21.7, strike rate 51.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.71 per match at 19.6, economy 3.74, strike rate 31.5.
