Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.1 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 25 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.14 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). 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: 9 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 7.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.58 per match at 23.8, economy 3.14, strike rate 45.5.
