- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
9 of 16 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.
Going at 6.25 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 56.2 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 112.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 89 × 30% · Bowling 26 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 1,249 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 56.2, strike rate 112.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.55 per match at 27.4, economy 6.25, strike rate 26.3.
