Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.17 dismissals per match across 29 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.52 per match at 11.3, economy 3.55, strike rate 19.0.
