- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
23 of 31 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 42 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.31 per match at 15.7, economy 3.86, strike rate 24.4.
