Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.74 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.23 dismissals per match across 35 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (Rep Div 1 26 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 3 · 5th grade and below 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: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.69 per match at 29.2, economy 3.74, strike rate 46.9.
