Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 25 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.24 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 30 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 93 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.58 per match at 23.6, economy 3.24, strike rate 43.7.
