- ● Body of work — 78 imported matches (+1.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 61 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 78 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 61 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 0.77 per match at 17.7, economy 3.82, strike rate 27.8.
