- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.21 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.08 catches per match over 26 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 107.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 23 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 498 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 28.7, strike rate 107.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 26 matches — 0.42 per match at 32.8, economy 6.21, strike rate 31.7.
