Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.6 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 21 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.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 68 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 46% 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 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (National competition 7 · 1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 38 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 15). 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: 4 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 2.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.12 per match at 13.4, economy 3.69, strike rate 21.8.
