Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.6 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 5.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.80 per match at 15.7, economy 3.98, strike rate 23.6.
