Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.3 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 11 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.
0.21 dismissals per match across 39 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 8). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.41 per match at 20.3, economy 3.28, strike rate 37.1.
