Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 4.00 is excellent but a wicket every 62 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 16 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Rep Div 2 6 · Club 7). 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
- Keeping: 5 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.38 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 5.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 31.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
