- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
20 of 30 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.
0.24 dismissals per match across 34 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 2.25 per match at 20.2, economy 4.12, strike rate 29.4.
