Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
25 of 32 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 15% 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 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.97 per match at 29.1, economy 4.10, strike rate 42.6.
