- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 40.4 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 24 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 9 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.42 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 215 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 15.3, strike rate 40.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 12.8 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
