Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 14 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 75 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 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 14 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 196 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 17.4, strike rate 90.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
