Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 22 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 12% 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 14.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 46 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 12 · 4th grade 5). 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: 15 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 108 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 1.52 per match at 14.9, economy 3.31, strike rate 26.9.
