- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.1 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 24 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.
Out for 0 in 12% 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 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 26 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 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 (Club 26). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 2.00 per match at 15.3, economy 3.72, strike rate 24.7.
