- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 13% 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 17.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 35 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.05 per match at 17.4, economy 4.55, strike rate 22.9.
