- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 26 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 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 26 matches — 0.65 per match at 23.5, economy 4.83, strike rate 29.2.
