- ● Regional representative — 43 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 55 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.55 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 55 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 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
- ×0.23 for the level played (Club 12 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 23 catches + 12 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.67 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 37.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
