- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.8 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 26 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 32% 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 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.81 per match at 15.4, economy 3.55, strike rate 25.9.
