Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.9 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 58 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 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 9 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 44). 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: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.51 per match at 26.1, economy 3.46, strike rate 45.1.
