- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 39 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 73.7 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.23 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
