Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 18 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 39). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.33 per match at 21.4, economy 4.01, strike rate 32.0.
