Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 48 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.
0.23 dismissals per match across 57 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 41 · Club 8 · 4th grade 3). 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: 9 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.45 per match at 13.4, economy 3.00, strike rate 26.9.
