Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.8 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 14 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.35 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.22 dismissals per match across 58 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 29 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 18 · 4th grade 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.88 per match at 26.4, economy 3.35, strike rate 47.3.
