- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
24 of 33 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 133.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 33 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 1,136 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 34.4, strike rate 67.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.18 per match at 20.8, economy 4.47, strike rate 27.9.
