- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.3 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 43 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 21% 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 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 2.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.43 per match at 29.6, economy 4.15, strike rate 42.8.
