- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.4 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.12 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
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 41 matches (0.37 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 18 wickets from 76.7 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.82 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
