- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 35 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 478 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 18.3, strike rate 52.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.59 per match at 17.9, economy 4.49, strike rate 23.9.
