Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.81 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 59 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 49 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 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: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 20.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 89 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.59 per match at 27.4, economy 3.81, strike rate 43.1.
