- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.7 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.74 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 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 47 matches (0.74 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 74 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 35 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.79 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.02 per match at 16.0, economy 3.59, strike rate 26.7.
