Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 32% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.30 per match at 19.5, economy 3.31, strike rate 35.3.
