- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 12 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. 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 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.21 per match at 16.4, economy 3.24, strike rate 30.4.
