Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.25 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 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 (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 8 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.85 per match at 29.6, economy 3.25, strike rate 54.6.
