Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 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 9.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 27 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 76 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.20 per match at 9.2, economy 2.95, strike rate 18.6.
