Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 16 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (1st grade 16 · 2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 38 · Club 8 · 4th grade 8). 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: 27 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 132 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.61 per match at 21.1, economy 3.23, strike rate 39.2.
