Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.6 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 18 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 12% 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 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.73 per match at 22.1, economy 4.36, strike rate 30.5.
