Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 24 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.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.98 is excellent but a wicket every 57 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 4). 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: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.75 per match at 37.8, economy 3.98, strike rate 57.0.
