- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
6 of 11 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.
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
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 14). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 263 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 23.3, strike rate 93.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.21 per match at 17.2, economy 3.79, strike rate 27.3.
