Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.5 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.8 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.
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.
0.21 dismissals per match across 34 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 14 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (National competition 1 · State competition 9 · 2nd grade 8 · Club 16). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.12 per match at 12.4, economy 5.18, strike rate 14.4.
