- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.1 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.
0.65 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 37 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 2 6 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 25.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 45.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
