- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.51 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 710 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 85.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.96 per match at 25.7, economy 5.51, strike rate 28.0.
