- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.7 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 12 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.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.16 dismissals per match across 38 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.50.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (Rep Div 1 20 · Club 18). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 3.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.86 per match at 13.2, economy 3.50, strike rate 22.6.
