- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 45 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.
Economy of 3.15 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 45). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.52 per match at 25.4, economy 3.15, strike rate 48.3.
