- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Strengths
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 8 run outs (7 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.95 per match at 11.6, economy 4.07, strike rate 17.1.
