Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 34 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.56.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 (Rep Div 2 1 · Club 33). 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: 5 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 34 matches — 2.68 per match at 13.1, economy 2.56, strike rate 30.6.
