Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 17 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 16% 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 17.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (State competition 25 · 1st grade 18 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 4). 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: 9 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.02 per match at 17.1, economy 4.45, strike rate 23.0.
