Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.4 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% 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 17 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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
- ×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 9 · Club 1 · 4th grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 26.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
