- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 106 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 9.8, strike rate 38.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.29 per match at 18.6, economy 3.51, strike rate 31.7.
