- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 41.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
0.61 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 36 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 31.7 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.28 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
