Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.86 per match at 14.2, economy 3.58, strike rate 23.8.
