Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.31 is excellent but a wicket every 60 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 1). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.00 per match at 33.1, economy 3.31, strike rate 60.0.
