- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 15.0 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 23 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 13% 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 15.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 44). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.89 per match at 15.5, economy 4.05, strike rate 23.0.
