Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.08 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
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.
0.22 dismissals per match across 45 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.56 per match at 36.8, economy 6.08, strike rate 36.3.
