Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 14% 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 28 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.76.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 2.59 per match at 16.3, economy 2.76, strike rate 35.5.
