- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 6 catches + 1 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.31 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 26.8 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
