Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.81 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.17 dismissals per match across 12 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (Club 4 · 5th grade and below 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.38 per match at 81.3, economy 5.81, strike rate 84.0.
