Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.7 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 19 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.
0.47 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 3.58.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 15 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 1). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.75 per match at 19.1, economy 3.58, strike rate 32.0.
