Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
17 of 20 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 29% 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 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.7 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
