Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 20 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 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 12). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.60 per match at 19.7, economy 4.12, strike rate 28.7.
