- ● Regional representative — 16 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 14 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.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.70.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.31 per match at 18.4, economy 3.70, strike rate 29.9.
