Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.84 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.84.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 8 · 4th grade 19). 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.86 per match at 21.5, economy 2.84, strike rate 45.4.
