- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.72 is excellent but a wicket every 77 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 42 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (Club 1 · 4th grade 41). 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: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.47 per match at 47.9, economy 3.72, strike rate 77.2.
