- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 catches per match over 13 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.
Only 2 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 2 innings at 1.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 13 matches — 1.85 per match at 12.5, economy 3.30, strike rate 22.8.
