- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
16 of 21 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 14% 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 15.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.60.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 427 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 18.8, strike rate 48.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.91 per match at 15.0, economy 2.60, strike rate 34.5.
