- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 37 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 9.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
