Critical recommendations
Going at 6.59 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 17 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 135 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 19.0, strike rate 126.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 8 matches — 1.00 per match at 27.8, economy 6.59, strike rate 25.3.
