- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 25 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 12 × 30%. 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.24 per match at 59.0, economy 4.37, strike rate 81.0.
