- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 33 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 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.66 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.03 per match at 25.5, economy 3.66, strike rate 41.8.
