- ● Body of work — 66 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 66). 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 66 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 1.23 per match at 25.4, economy 4.91, strike rate 31.1.
