Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 7 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.
0.15 dismissals per match across 26 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 10 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 7 · 4th grade 2). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.09 per match at 48.3, economy 4.65, strike rate 62.4.
