Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.0 over 57 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
21 of 37 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 0.09 catches per match over 82 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.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 82). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 6.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.49 per match at 19.0, economy 3.24, strike rate 35.2.
