Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 21 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · Club 20). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.42 per match at 21.9, economy 4.45, strike rate 29.5.
