- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 28% 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 51 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.12 per match at 19.6, economy 4.09, strike rate 28.7.
