Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 57 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
30 of 40 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 19% 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 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 59). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.91 per match at 23.4, economy 4.23, strike rate 33.2.
