- ● Body of work — 72 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
23 of 37 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 0.10 catches per match over 72 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 22% 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 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 112 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 1.70 per match at 15.4, economy 3.28, strike rate 28.2.
