Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 27 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (National competition 5 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.05 per match at 15.6, economy 5.03, strike rate 18.6.
