Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 11 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 14 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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
- ×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 29.7 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
