Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
24 of 48 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 63 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.26 for the level played (3rd grade 5 · Club 5 · 4th grade 29 · 5th grade and below 24). 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: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 1.10 per match at 23.3, economy 5.09, strike rate 27.5.
