- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.0 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.27 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.11 catches per match over 18 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 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 14). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 6.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.86 per match at 25.3, economy 6.27, strike rate 24.3.
