- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 48 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 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 48). 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
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.57 per match at 15.6, economy 3.90, strike rate 24.0.
