- ● Regional representative — 18 matches (+2.7)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.2 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 30 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 30% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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
- ×0.27 for the level played (3rd grade 5 · Club 12 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 8). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.24 per match at 22.4, economy 3.62, strike rate 37.1.
