Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.00 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 38.6 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 109.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 28 matches (1.00 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 83 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 28 matches — 1.18 per match.
- Batting
- 687 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 38.6, strike rate 109.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 2.36 per match at 8.7, economy 3.00, strike rate 17.4.
