Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 27 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.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 59 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 10 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 19 · 4th grade 17). 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: 8 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.85 per match at 25.8, economy 3.91, strike rate 39.6.
