- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.45 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 12 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 67.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.91 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
