- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
21 of 28 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 99.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.78.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 71 × 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 34). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 832 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 29.4, strike rate 99.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 2.17 per match at 10.2, economy 2.78, strike rate 22.1.
