- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.0 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 46 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 19% 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 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.38 per match at 27.8, economy 4.63, strike rate 36.1.
