- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
10 of 12 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 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.32.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 471 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 36.8, strike rate 67.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 2.62 per match at 14.3, economy 2.32, strike rate 36.9.
