- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 15 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 33 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (Rep Div 1 31 · Club 2). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 33 matches — 0.88 per match at 31.0, economy 4.66, strike rate 40.0.
