- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.19 dismissals per match across 26 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 585 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 48.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 26 matches — 1.77 per match at 18.8, economy 3.33, strike rate 33.8.
