Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.18 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.20 dismissals per match across 40 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 9 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.46 per match at 21.5, economy 3.18, strike rate 40.5.
