Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.51 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 24 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.79 per match at 34.8, economy 5.51, strike rate 37.9.
