Critical recommendations
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.
0.24 dismissals per match across 41 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 31). 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: 7 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 22.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.88 per match at 17.4, economy 3.23, strike rate 32.3.
