- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.9 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.4 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 5.69 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 17% 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 39 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 37 matches — 0.73 per match at 21.5, economy 5.69, strike rate 22.7.
