Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.1 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.28 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 53 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.23 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 12 · 4th grade 15 · 5th grade and below 23). 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: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.29 per match at 23.2, economy 3.28, strike rate 42.4.
