Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.7 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 14 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 23 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 24% 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 9 · Club 5 · 4th grade 8). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.58 per match at 45.0, economy 4.30, strike rate 62.8.
