- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.6 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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 19% 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 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 16 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 16). 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: 6 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 3.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.87 per match at 15.9, economy 3.51, strike rate 27.2.
