- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 54 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.34 per match at 17.4, economy 3.85, strike rate 27.1.
