- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.7 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 20 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.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.02 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.21 dismissals per match across 39 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.02.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 5.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.22 per match at 20.4, economy 3.02, strike rate 40.5.
