- ● Regional representative — 16 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 61 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.21 dismissals per match across 61 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 20.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 72.5 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
