Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.1 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 30 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.18 dismissals per match across 57 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 5 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 7.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 72.0 overs across 42 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
