Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.0 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Economy of 2.68 is excellent but a wicket every 60 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.68.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 26 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 23). 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: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.95 per match at 26.7, economy 2.68, strike rate 59.8.
