- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 38 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 69 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 2 6 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.66 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.71 per match at 16.8, economy 3.38, strike rate 29.8.
