Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.3 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 50% 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 11.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.58.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 10 · Club 2). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 5.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.20 per match at 11.8, economy 2.58, strike rate 27.5.
