- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 47 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 87.7 overs across 41 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
