- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 23.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 53 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 25 catches + 4 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.57 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 35.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
