- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% 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 17.3.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 743 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 20.9, strike rate 59.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.10 per match at 17.3, economy 3.88, strike rate 26.8.
