Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.98 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 13 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 2 · 4th 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: 3 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.89 per match at 28.8, economy 3.98, strike rate 43.5.
