Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.1 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 25 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.18 dismissals per match across 49 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.86.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.55 for the level played (1st grade 15 · 2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 1 · 4th grade 4). 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 49 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 78 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.66 per match at 15.8, economy 2.86, strike rate 33.2.
