Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.9 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 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 32% 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 16.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.88.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 3.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 20 matches — 2.15 per match at 16.0, economy 2.88, strike rate 33.4.
