Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.6 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 36% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.85 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.19 dismissals per match across 31 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 27). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 4.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.30 per match at 29.1, economy 3.85, strike rate 45.3.
