Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.2 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 of 20 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.
2.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 38 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.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 13 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 74 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (State competition 4 · 1st grade 10 · Rep Div 1 20 · Club 4). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 3.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.08 per match at 11.0, economy 5.20, strike rate 12.7.
