- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% 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 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.99.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.75 per match at 13.3, economy 2.99, strike rate 26.8.
