- ● Body of work — 74 imported matches (+1.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 of 26 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.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 74 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.
Economy of 3.13 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 28 · 4th grade 29 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.17 per match at 21.7, economy 3.13, strike rate 41.6.
