Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.69 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.00 catches per match over 17 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×1.00 for the level played (National competition 16 · 1st grade 1). 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: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 17 matches — 1.35 per match at 16.0, economy 5.69, strike rate 16.8.
