Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.80 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.14 catches per match over 42 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 13 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 42). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.32 per match at 43.5, economy 5.80, strike rate 45.0.
