- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.3 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.49 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 43 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 17 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.86 per match at 24.2, economy 3.67, strike rate 39.6.
