Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.8 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 36 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.
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 4 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.41 per match at 23.7, economy 3.46, strike rate 41.1.
