- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.76 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 26 wickets from 187.0 overs across 23 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
