Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
22 of 31 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 25% 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 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.00 per match at 22.6, economy 4.97, strike rate 27.3.
