- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 40.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 34 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.09 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 34 wickets from 220.5 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
