- ● Regional representative — 3 matches (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.04 catches per match over 47 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 28% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.90 per match at 15.8, economy 4.49, strike rate 21.1.
