- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 5 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
2 of 3 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.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 11 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.50 per match at 50.4, economy 4.58, strike rate 66.0.
