Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.4 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Economy of 3.82 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 26 · 2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 7). 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: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.96 per match at 28.8, economy 3.82, strike rate 45.2.
