Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.2 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 21% 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 45 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 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
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.97 per match at 17.4, economy 4.06, strike rate 25.8.
