- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.2 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 10 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 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 2.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.77 per match at 23.2, economy 3.46, strike rate 40.3.
