Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 30 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.19 dismissals per match across 59 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · Club 19 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.05 per match at 28.1, economy 5.08, strike rate 33.3.
