- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 47 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 30%. 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 884 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 49.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
