Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 28 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.74 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.74.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 19 · Club 7 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 80 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.36 per match at 19.6, economy 2.74, strike rate 42.9.
