- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 64 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Economy of 3.01 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 55 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 78 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.50 per match at 20.6, economy 3.01, strike rate 41.1.
