Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.20 dismissals per match across 35 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 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
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 10 · Club 21). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.88 per match at 23.2, economy 4.05, strike rate 34.3.
