Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 12 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.13 is excellent but a wicket every 59 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 23 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 3 · 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.56 per match at 30.9, economy 3.13, strike rate 59.3.
