- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.3 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 16 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.72 is excellent but a wicket every 56 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 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 24). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.48 per match at 35.0, economy 3.72, strike rate 56.5.
