Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 55 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.74 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 3.74.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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
- ×0.80 for the level played (1st grade 67 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 2). 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: 14 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 104 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.49 per match at 26.1, economy 3.74, strike rate 41.8.
