- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.3 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 9 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 38% 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 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 18). 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: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 5.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 50.3 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
