Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 of 23 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.83 for the level played (1st grade 21 · 2nd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.63 per match at 33.2, economy 5.32, strike rate 37.5.
