- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 81 imported matches (+1.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 81 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.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 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 81). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.29 per match at 19.6, economy 5.33, strike rate 22.0.
