- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.52 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.00 catches per match over 22 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.47 per match at 42.8, economy 5.52, strike rate 46.5.
