- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 54 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 1,154 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 27.4, strike rate 55.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 54 matches — 1.20 per match at 34.1, economy 4.16, strike rate 49.2.
