Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.5 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 27 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 20% 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 15.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Rep Div 2 6 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.74 per match at 15.4, economy 4.09, strike rate 22.6.
