- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.15 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 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
- ×0.80 for the level played (1st grade 46 · 2nd grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 81 wickets in 54 matches — 1.50 per match at 25.7, economy 3.44, strike rate 44.8.
