- ● Regional representative — 21 matches (+3.1)
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 23 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 16% 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 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.53 per match at 15.3, economy 3.64, strike rate 25.2.
