- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.59 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 39 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 20.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.38 per match at 14.0, economy 4.77, strike rate 17.6.
