Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.7 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.67 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 34 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 23 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.91 for the level played (National competition 4 · 1st grade 29 · 2nd 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: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.50 per match at 30.6, economy 3.67, strike rate 50.0.
