- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.6 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 16 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.
1.0 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.
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.88 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 4 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 6.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.56 per match at 27.6, economy 3.88, strike rate 42.7.
