Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.2 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.61 is excellent but a wicket every 81 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 17 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 16 · Club 24). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 6.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.42 per match at 35.2, economy 2.61, strike rate 80.8.
