Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.9 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 9 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.
Going at 5.57 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.03 catches per match over 34 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 21% 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 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 9 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (National competition 6 · Club 28). 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: 1 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 1.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.45 per match at 40.2, economy 5.57, strike rate 43.4.
