Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 15 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 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 22 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 16 · Club 4). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 22 matches — 0.68 per match at 35.3, economy 4.13, strike rate 51.2.
