Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
Economy of 2.80 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.16 dismissals per match across 55 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.80.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 16 · 2nd grade 22 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.17 per match at 21.1, economy 2.80, strike rate 45.1.
