Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.4 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 6 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 10 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 3.33 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · Club 1 · 4th grade 4). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 4.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 10 matches — 1.40 per match at 22.4, economy 3.33, strike rate 40.3.
