- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.62 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 40 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.90 per match at 16.5, economy 5.62, strike rate 17.6.
