- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 35% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.86 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 25 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.71 per match at 32.5, economy 3.86, strike rate 50.5.
