Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 dismissals per match across 23 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.00 per match at 15.1, economy 4.33, strike rate 20.9.
