- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Regional representative — 20 matches (+3.0)
- ● Body of work — 66 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 29.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% 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 — 25 catches in 66 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 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
- ×0.23 for the level played (Club 11 · 5th grade and below 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
