- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 15% 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 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.08.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 488 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 16.0, strike rate 46.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.61 per match at 17.3, economy 3.08, strike rate 33.7.
