- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.47 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 43 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 40 × 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.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.47 per match at 37.4, economy 6.47, strike rate 34.7.
