Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 58 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 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.96 per match at 27.0, economy 4.48, strike rate 36.2.
