Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 16 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 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.67 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 41 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 12 · 2nd grade 11 · Club 15). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 41 matches — 0.98 per match at 26.8, economy 3.67, strike rate 43.7.
