- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.95 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 41.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 21 matches (0.95 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 65 × 40% · Batting 83 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 14 catches + 3 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.90 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 638 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 41.4, strike rate 82.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 8.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.24 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
