Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 23 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.
Only 0.03 catches per match over 30 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 33% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.76 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 16 · 4th grade 3 · 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.82 per match at 20.1, economy 2.76, strike rate 43.7.
