- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.03 catches per match over 33 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 20% 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 0 × 40% · Batting 38 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.03 per match.
- Batting
- 420 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 14.5, strike rate 61.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 52.0 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
