- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.0 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 35 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.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.88.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (State competition 6 · Club 41). 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: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.95 per match at 11.6, economy 2.88, strike rate 24.2.
