Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.19 dismissals per match across 43 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 10 · 4th grade 16 · 5th grade and below 10). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.03 per match at 22.1, economy 3.64, strike rate 36.4.
