- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.0 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 14 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 38% 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 11.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 1.00 per match at 11.8, economy 4.24, strike rate 16.8.
