Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 10 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 0.00 catches per match over 19 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.
Economy of 3.00 is excellent but a wicket every 67 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 (Rep Div 1 5 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 12 · 4th grade 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.78 per match at 33.7, economy 3.00, strike rate 67.4.
