- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 38 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.50 per match at 31.9, economy 4.47, strike rate 42.8.
