- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
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.
0.47 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 105.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 30 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 530 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 75.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
