- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.59 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 34 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.03 per match at 22.2, economy 3.48, strike rate 38.3.
