- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.1 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.
Going at 6.17 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 23% 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 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 17 × 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 (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.60 per match at 24.1, economy 6.17, strike rate 23.4.
