- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 7.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.40.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 79 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 32 matches — 1.00 per match at 7.7, economy 2.40, strike rate 19.3.
