- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.6 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 32% 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 34 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 6.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.39 per match at 21.2, economy 3.92, strike rate 32.4.
