- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.74 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 51 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 109.7 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.52 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
