- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 166.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 61 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 659 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 23.5, strike rate 64.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
