Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
29 of 39 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 51 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 2 · 4th grade 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.83 per match at 25.1, economy 4.95, strike rate 30.5.
