- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 16% 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 44 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 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 44). 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: 18 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 22.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
