- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.0 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 8 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 18% 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 3.68.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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 16). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 16 matches — 1.50 per match at 20.9, economy 3.68, strike rate 34.0.
