Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.0 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 19 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.
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.
Economy of 2.90 is excellent but a wicket every 57 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.18 dismissals per match across 50 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.90.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 47 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 50 matches — 0.66 per match at 27.8, economy 2.90, strike rate 57.4.
