- ● Body of work — 67 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.1 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 28 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.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 67 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 26% 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 13.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 67). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.21 per match at 13.3, economy 3.95, strike rate 20.2.
