Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.7 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 28% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.11 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 38 · Club 2). 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: 11 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 5.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.70 per match at 23.8, economy 3.11, strike rate 46.0.
