- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
24 of 46 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 50 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 17 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 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: 17 catches + 17 run outs (6 direct, 11 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.44 per match at 22.5, economy 5.00, strike rate 27.0.
