Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.5 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 30% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.59 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 17 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 3). 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: 5 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 2.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.62 per match at 30.5, economy 3.59, strike rate 51.0.
