Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.0 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 30 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.41 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.23 dismissals per match across 61 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 10 · 4th grade 13 · 5th grade and below 11). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.30 per match at 22.9, economy 3.41, strike rate 40.2.
