Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 17 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 17% 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 15.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (State competition 4 · 1st grade 10 · Rep Div 1 6 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 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 40 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.86 per match at 15.6, economy 3.88, strike rate 24.1.
