- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 13 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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 3.79 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 25 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 13 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.71 per match at 25.8, economy 3.79, strike rate 40.8.
