- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 25 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.21 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.74 per match at 21.8, economy 4.60, strike rate 28.4.
