- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.20 dismissals per match across 49 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.69 for the level played (1st grade 10 · 2nd grade 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 52.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
