- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths

- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 109.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 166.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 38 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting 97 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.63 per match.
- Batting
- 1,738 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 52.7, strike rate 109.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
