- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 40.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 137.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 42 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 489 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 16.8, strike rate 40.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.31 per match at 19.1, economy 4.15, strike rate 27.6.
