- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.66 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
14 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 96.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 131.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 37 × 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 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 607 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 29.8, strike rate 96.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.68 per match at 39.2, economy 5.66, strike rate 41.5.
