Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.9 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 30). 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 + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.96 per match at 20.2, economy 3.75, strike rate 32.3.
