- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.7 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
28 of 35 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 52 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 26% 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 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 52). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 4.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.63 per match at 16.1, economy 3.28, strike rate 29.5.
