Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 23 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.
Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.22 dismissals per match across 37 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 3rd grade 11 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.23 per match at 25.6, economy 3.44, strike rate 44.7.
