Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
19 of 33 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
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 3.24 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 58). 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: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.74 per match at 21.7, economy 3.24, strike rate 40.2.
