- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 46 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.83 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 32 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 503 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 18.4, strike rate 91.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.86 per match at 28.8, economy 3.83, strike rate 45.2.
