Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 47 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.24 per match at 22.8, economy 4.79, strike rate 28.5.
