- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 28 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.
Going at 7.04 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 16% 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 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.67 per match at 23.8, economy 7.04, strike rate 20.3.
