Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 dismissals per match across 45 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.70 per match at 34.6, economy 4.92, strike rate 42.1.
