- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 43 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 15 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · 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
- Keeping: 21 catches + 15 stumpings + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.91 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 834 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 63.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 13.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
