- ● Regional representative — 2 matches (+0.3)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
18 of 24 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.14 is excellent but a wicket every 59 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.46 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 34.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 28 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 26). 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 28 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 827 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 34.0, strike rate 80.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.88 per match at 30.6, economy 3.14, strike rate 58.6.
