- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.69 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.02.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 13 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 5). 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 13 matches — 0.69 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.30 per match at 15.6, economy 3.02, strike rate 31.0.
