- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.66 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 29 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting 46 × 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
- ×0.52 for the level played (2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.66 per match.
- Batting
- 615 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 22.7, strike rate 50.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
