Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.1 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 16 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 0.10 catches per match over 30 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 28% 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.57 per match at 18.8, economy 4.23, strike rate 26.6.
