Critical recommendations
Imported-match numbers are solid across the board. Keep importing matches to track trends over time.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 50.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 124.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 16 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 94 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 10 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 674 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 50.9, strike rate 77.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.87 per match at 20.8, economy 3.97, strike rate 31.4.
