- ● Regional representative — 17 matches (+2.5)
- ● Body of work — 58 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.17 dismissals per match across 58 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.70.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.26 for the level played (Club 12 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.36 per match at 17.6, economy 3.70, strike rate 28.6.
