- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
14 of 24 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.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 102.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.6.

- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
