Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.3 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.1 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.
Going at 6.67 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.06 catches per match over 18 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 25% 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 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 18). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 4.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.53 per match at 28.7, economy 6.67, strike rate 25.8.
