- ● Body of work — 71 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 11% 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 15.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 71 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 79 innings at 19.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 144 wickets in 69 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 2.09 per match at 15.5, economy 3.18, strike rate 29.2.
