Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.62 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.43 per match at 29.5, economy 5.62, strike rate 31.5.
