- ● Body of work — 59 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 135.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 59 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,366 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 23.5, strike rate 63.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 35.2 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
