- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 30 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.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 19.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
