Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.94 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 13). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 32.0 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
