Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 20 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.
9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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 3.25 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (1st grade 12 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 1 · 4th 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.05 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.44 per match at 27.3, economy 3.25, strike rate 50.4.
