Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.5 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 11 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
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 2.92 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.21 dismissals per match across 33 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · 4th grade 29 · 5th grade and below 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 4.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.12 per match at 23.7, economy 2.92, strike rate 48.7.
