Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 2.43 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.18 dismissals per match across 17 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.43.
- 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
- ×0.48 for the level played (2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 4 · 4th grade 2). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.81 per match at 18.6, economy 2.43, strike rate 45.8.
