Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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 3.57 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.57.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 13 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 28 · Club 8 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 20 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 102 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.50 per match at 24.7, economy 3.57, strike rate 41.5.
