Critical recommendations
3 of 5 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.27 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 20 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 2). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 114 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 19.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.88 per match at 28.4, economy 3.27, strike rate 52.1.
