Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 21 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 13% 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 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.17 per match at 21.3, economy 4.26, strike rate 30.0.
