Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.80 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
5 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% 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 not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (State competition 1 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 20.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.43 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
