Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (State competition 3 · 1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 4 · Club 24). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.60 per match at 16.5, economy 4.91, strike rate 20.2.
