Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.89 is excellent but a wicket every 94 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Only 3 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Bowling average (61.0) beats batting average (42.7) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 42.7.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 78 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.20 for the level played (5th grade and below 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 2 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 128 runs in 3 innings, adjusted average 42.7, strike rate 100.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 15.7 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 2 played) — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
