Critical recommendations
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 44.6.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 103.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 126.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 50 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 2,142 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 44.6, strike rate 103.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 108.7 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.86 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
