- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 32 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.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 56 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 28% 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 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.96.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 5.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.13 per match at 17.0, economy 2.96, strike rate 34.4.
