Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 25 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 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 34 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 6 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.18 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 12.5 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
