Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 53 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
24 of 43 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 67 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 58). 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: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 96.2 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.48 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
