- ● Regional representative — 3 matches (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.8 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 42 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 12% 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 15.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.55 per match at 15.1, economy 3.49, strike rate 25.9.
