Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.1 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 dismissals per match across 46 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.63.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 4th grade 8 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.41 per match at 18.0, economy 3.63, strike rate 29.7.
