Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
77% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 236 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 17.5, strike rate 88.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
