- ● Body of work — 65 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
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.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 65 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 30 catches + 3 stumpings + 6 run outs (0 direct, 6 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.60 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 24.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 7.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
