Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.7 over 29 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 0.13 catches per match over 56 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 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.16 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 7 · 4th grade 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 2.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.21 per match at 22.1, economy 3.16, strike rate 42.0.
