- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 6% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 59.1 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 150.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 109.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 42 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 91 × 30% · Bowling 16 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,655 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 59.1, strike rate 150.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.38 per match at 36.3, economy 4.98, strike rate 43.7.
