Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.2 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 17% 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 37 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 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
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.68 per match at 31.7, economy 4.44, strike rate 42.9.
