Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 9 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.
Economy of 3.94 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.18 dismissals per match across 28 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 28). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.56 per match at 28.6, economy 3.94, strike rate 43.5.
