Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 52 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 34 · Club 12). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.71 per match at 21.4, economy 3.23, strike rate 39.8.
