Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.4 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.07.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 (Club 72 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 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: 23 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 80 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 1.10 per match at 13.7, economy 3.07, strike rate 26.8.
