Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 20 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.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.36.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 32 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 31 · 2nd 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: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 2.00 per match at 17.2, economy 3.36, strike rate 30.7.
