Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.2 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 9 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 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.80.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 5). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 1.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 2.35 per match at 14.7, economy 2.80, strike rate 31.4.
