Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.4 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 22 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.
0.21 dismissals per match across 47 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (State competition 3 · Rep Div 1 7 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.87 per match at 19.0, economy 3.84, strike rate 29.7.
