- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 10 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 40% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.05.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 24 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 19). 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: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.71 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 2.32 per match at 13.4, economy 3.05, strike rate 26.4.
