- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.71 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
7 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 21.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
