Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.0 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.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 14 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.77 per match at 28.1, economy 5.35, strike rate 31.5.
