Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 21 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 23% 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 70 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 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 24 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 11 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 44 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.02 per match at 22.1, economy 4.44, strike rate 29.8.
