- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 43 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 43). 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: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.00 per match at 10.6, economy 2.85, strike rate 22.3.
