- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.0 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 26 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 3.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.58 per match at 17.6, economy 3.25, strike rate 32.6.
