Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3 of 3 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 0.00 catches per match over 14 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.
Economy of 3.76 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 1 · 4th grade 6). 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: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 1.15 per match at 26.5, economy 3.76, strike rate 42.2.
