- ● Body of work — 58 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.2 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · 4th grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.14 per match at 24.3, economy 3.87, strike rate 37.7.
