- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.08 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.08.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 32 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 2 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.15 per match at 21.0, economy 3.08, strike rate 41.0.
