- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 46 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.70 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (3rd grade 12 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.81 per match at 31.6, economy 3.70, strike rate 51.2.
