Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 55 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Club 55 · 4th grade 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.74 per match at 29.7, economy 3.44, strike rate 51.7.
