Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.04 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.82.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 24 matches (1.04 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 23). 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: 25 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 1.04 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 24 matches — 1.58 per match at 11.5, economy 2.82, strike rate 24.4.
