- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
15 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 538 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 24.7, strike rate 48.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 22.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
