Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 27.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 51 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.52 per match at 17.6, economy 3.22, strike rate 32.8.
