- ● Body of work — 73 imported matches (+1.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.0 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 16 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 0.01 catches per match over 73 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 19% 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 11.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.52.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 74 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 66). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.01 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 82 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.22 per match at 11.2, economy 2.52, strike rate 26.6.
