Critical recommendations
Going at 5.68 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.00 catches per match over 10 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 11% 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 not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 24.7 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.57 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
