- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 38.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.48 is excellent but a wicket every 58 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 24 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 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 (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 17). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 26.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.56 per match at 24.1, economy 2.48, strike rate 58.4.
