Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 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 0.10 catches per match over 52 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.
Economy of 3.65 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 30). 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: 5 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.43 per match at 31.5, economy 3.65, strike rate 51.7.
