Critical recommendations
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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.45 is excellent but a wicket every 58 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 33 · 2nd grade 13 · 3rd 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.20 per match at 33.4, economy 3.45, strike rate 58.1.
