- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.7 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 40 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.87.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.13 per match at 14.0, economy 2.87, strike rate 29.3.
