Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.3 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
21 of 35 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 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 50 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 27.2 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
