Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
24 of 45 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 62 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 16 · 3rd grade 35 · 4th grade 9 · 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: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.22 per match at 19.5, economy 3.25, strike rate 36.1.
