Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 21.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
