- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.18 dismissals per match across 17 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 53.4 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 135.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 547 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 53.4, strike rate 56.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.00 per match at 17.1, economy 3.13, strike rate 32.9.
