- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 47). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.46 per match at 16.1, economy 2.70, strike rate 35.9.
