Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
19 of 37 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.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 63 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 19 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 41 wickets from 160.0 overs across 54 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.76 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
