Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.7 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.14 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 12% 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 26 × 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
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 41.7 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.28 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
