- ● Body of work — 61 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.9 over 57 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 61 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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 3.69 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 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 61). 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: 4 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.55 per match at 27.8, economy 3.69, strike rate 45.2.
