Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 15 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.10 is excellent but a wicket every 79 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 33 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 15 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 24 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 7). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.35 per match at 40.6, economy 3.10, strike rate 78.6.
