Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 16 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.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 80 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.83 for the level played (1st grade 64 · 2nd grade 15 · Club 1). 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: 34 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 128 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 1.73 per match at 19.5, economy 3.71, strike rate 31.6.
