Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.9 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.49 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (Rep Div 1 29 · Club 6). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 4.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.56 per match at 29.1, economy 3.49, strike rate 49.9.
