Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 10 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 0.10 catches per match over 30 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 30). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.69 per match at 24.3, economy 3.96, strike rate 36.8.
