Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 36 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.
Economy of 3.95 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (State competition 11 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 22 · Club 1). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.65 per match at 27.7, economy 3.95, strike rate 42.0.
