- ● Body of work — 69 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.59 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 69 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
- 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 25.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 24 wickets from 128.2 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 0.35 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
