Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.26 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.
0.21 dismissals per match across 61 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.69 per match at 29.4, economy 6.26, strike rate 28.2.
