Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
21 of 30 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.79 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.20 dismissals per match across 49 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 23 · Club 21). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 49 matches — 0.92 per match at 30.8, economy 3.79, strike rate 48.7.
