Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.5 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 41 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.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (State competition 11 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 24). 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: 5 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.42 per match at 23.4, economy 3.64, strike rate 38.5.
