- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
20 of 30 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.
0.24 dismissals per match across 33 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.48 per match at 26.4, economy 4.62, strike rate 34.4.
