- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 21 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 10% 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 13.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.24 per match at 13.8, economy 3.88, strike rate 21.3.
