Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 17 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 0.08 catches per match over 26 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 25% 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 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 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 26). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.10 per match at 33.9, economy 4.19, strike rate 48.5.
