- ● Regional representative — 11 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.86 per match at 17.3, economy 3.52, strike rate 29.6.
