- ● Regional representative — 21 matches (+3.1)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 21 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.8.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.26 for the level played (Club 11 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 376 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 31.8, strike rate 79.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.88 per match at 25.0, economy 4.61, strike rate 32.6.
