- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
12 of 14 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.
0.94 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.1.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 115.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 125.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 16 matches (0.94 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 74 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 15). 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 + 3 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.75 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 424 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 30.2, strike rate 115.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 5.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
