- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Economy of 3.61 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.67 per match at 26.4, economy 3.61, strike rate 43.9.
