Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 18 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.42 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 37 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.32 per match at 24.2, economy 3.42, strike rate 42.5.
