Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.4 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.37 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.03 catches per match over 39 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 25% 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 55 × 30%. 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.03 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 3.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.66 per match at 27.4, economy 6.37, strike rate 25.8.
