- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.6 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 14 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 0.07 catches per match over 28 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 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 2 9 · Club 19). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 2.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 28 matches — 1.11 per match at 12.3, economy 3.74, strike rate 19.7.
