- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.38 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.38 per match at 26.2, economy 3.38, strike rate 46.5.
