- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Economy of 3.76 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 33 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 16 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.88 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.37 per match at 27.6, economy 3.76, strike rate 44.1.
