Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.1 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 44% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 14 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 2.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.52 per match at 19.0, economy 3.14, strike rate 36.3.
