- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 52 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.78.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 45). 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.96 per match at 14.2, economy 2.78, strike rate 30.6.
