Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 19 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.68 per match at 13.4, economy 4.24, strike rate 19.0.
