- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.8 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 43 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 13 · 2nd grade 11 · Club 1 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 3.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.26 per match at 32.5, economy 4.43, strike rate 44.1.
