Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.85 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (Rep Div 1 34 · 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: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.77 per match at 28.1, economy 3.85, strike rate 43.9.
