- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
23 of 34 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.
1.2 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.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 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 15.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 49 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 49). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.71 per match at 15.7, economy 3.73, strike rate 25.3.
