- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
0.45 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 47 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 4 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
