Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.5 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 10% 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 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.58 per match at 34.8, economy 5.29, strike rate 39.5.
