Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.0 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.2 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.
Going at 5.62 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.06 catches per match over 31 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 14% 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 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (State competition 5 · Club 26). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 6.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.72 per match at 22.8, economy 5.62, strike rate 24.3.
