Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 10% 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 31 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 21 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 51.7 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
