- ● Regional representative — 9 matches (+1.3)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.9 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 123.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 49 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 717 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 23.6, strike rate 58.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.86 per match at 18.0, economy 3.38, strike rate 32.0.
