- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 27 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 23% 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 — 21 catches in 54 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 22 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 11 · 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: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.75 per match at 29.7, economy 4.29, strike rate 41.5.
