Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.94 is excellent but a wicket every 63 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 60 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 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 (1st grade 26 · 2nd grade 30 · 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: 23 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.92 per match at 41.2, economy 3.94, strike rate 62.7.
