- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 19 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.
Going at 6.73 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 18 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.83 per match at 37.7, economy 6.73, strike rate 33.6.
