- ● Body of work — 71 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.2 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 24 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 0.11 catches per match over 71 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 27% 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 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 6.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.39 per match at 23.0, economy 4.32, strike rate 32.0.
