Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.5 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 25 · 4th grade 21 · 5th grade and below 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.24 per match at 18.8, economy 3.64, strike rate 31.0.
