- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
9 of 14 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.
0.40 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 10.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.73.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 20 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 74 × 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 20). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 426 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 28.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 2.22 per match at 10.5, economy 2.73, strike rate 23.0.
