Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.6 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 18 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.53 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 10 · 4th grade 10). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.00 per match at 26.9, economy 3.53, strike rate 45.7.
