- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.2 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
19 of 32 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.
1.2 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 6.09 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 49 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.73 per match at 21.4, economy 6.09, strike rate 21.1.
