Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 13 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 82.5 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
