- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.58 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.84 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 113.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 25 matches (0.84 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.84 per match.
- Batting
- 441 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 20.8, strike rate 113.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 36.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.28 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
