Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.20 dismissals per match across 41 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 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (2nd grade 8 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.03 per match at 22.3, economy 4.30, strike rate 31.1.
