Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 6 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 3 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 79 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.72 per match at 18.1, economy 3.59, strike rate 30.3.
