- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.0 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
17 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.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 42 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.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.51 per match at 26.6, economy 4.96, strike rate 32.2.
