- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.40 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 20). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.89 per match at 31.2, economy 3.40, strike rate 55.0.
