Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.98 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.44 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 2.98.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 41 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 25 · Club 14 · 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: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.18 per match at 24.2, economy 2.98, strike rate 48.7.
