- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
8 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.80 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 15 matches (0.80 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.87 per match.
- Batting
- 253 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 72.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 2.58 per match at 14.4, economy 3.69, strike rate 23.4.
