- ● Body of work — 60 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.20 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.23 dismissals per match across 60 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 23 × 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 (Rep Div 2 4 · Club 56). 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: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.61 per match at 24.3, economy 3.20, strike rate 45.5.
