Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.54 is excellent but a wicket every 84 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.19 dismissals per match across 26 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 12 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.73 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 19 · 3rd grade 2). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.48 per match at 49.6, economy 3.54, strike rate 84.1.
