Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.2 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 47 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 25% 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 16.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 3.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 47 matches — 0.85 per match at 16.7, economy 4.99, strike rate 20.1.
