- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 20% 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 13.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 55 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 53 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 18 catches + 9 run outs (3 direct, 6 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.88 per match at 13.5, economy 4.39, strike rate 18.4.
