- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 16 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 35 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (State competition 5 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.97 per match at 18.9, economy 4.87, strike rate 23.3.
