Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.24.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (2nd grade 18 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 12 run outs (3 direct, 9 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.98 per match at 13.8, economy 3.24, strike rate 25.6.
