- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 26 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.25 per match at 22.2, economy 4.28, strike rate 31.2.
