Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.2 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 34 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 24% 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 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 5.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.50 per match at 26.9, economy 4.47, strike rate 36.1.
