- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.2 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 13 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.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 37 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 37). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.27 per match at 23.2, economy 3.83, strike rate 36.4.
