Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.8 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 8 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 50% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.61 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.73 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 11 matches (0.73 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 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
- ×0.36 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 3 · Club 6). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.73 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 1.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 11 matches — 1.00 per match at 19.5, economy 2.61, strike rate 44.7.
