Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.26 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.06 catches per match over 18 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 8 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 6 · 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.31 per match at 65.8, economy 6.26, strike rate 63.0.
