Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
21 of 37 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.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 72 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 33% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (3rd grade 7 · 4th grade 60 · 5th grade and below 5). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 66 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 1.11 per match at 24.3, economy 3.90, strike rate 37.4.
