- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.0 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 8 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 56% 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 16 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 1.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 47.0 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
