- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
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.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 99.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 126.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 22 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.55 per match.
