- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 110.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 54 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 700 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 24.7, strike rate 110.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.20 per match at 20.1, economy 4.24, strike rate 28.4.
