- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 91.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 37 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 79 × 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
- ×0.67 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 12 catches + 1 stumpings + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.51 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 782 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 91.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
