- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 28 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.04.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 52 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 86 wickets in 52 matches — 1.65 per match at 15.7, economy 3.04, strike rate 31.0.
