Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 35 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.97 per match at 22.2, economy 4.80, strike rate 27.8.
