Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
2 of 4 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.
0.21 dismissals per match across 14 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 11). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 1.36 per match at 17.0, economy 2.92, strike rate 34.9.
