Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3 of 5 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.
0.23 dismissals per match across 22 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.57.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.69 for the level played (1st grade 10 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 3 · 4th grade 1). 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: 14 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 2.17 per match at 20.2, economy 3.57, strike rate 33.9.
