Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 51 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 16% 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 20 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 23 wickets from 135.5 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.96 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
