- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
0.67 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 15 matches (0.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 3 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 6 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.53 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.44 per match at 16.7, economy 3.68, strike rate 27.2.
