Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 9 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
Economy of 3.13 is excellent but a wicket every 90 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 5 · Club 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 2 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 0.33 per match at 47.0, economy 3.13, strike rate 90.0.
