- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 42 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 26 catches + 13 stumpings + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 42 matches — 1.02 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 514 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 19.3, strike rate 87.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
