Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 18 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.43 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.87 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 23 matches (0.87 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (State competition 3 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.61 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.57 per match at 31.1, economy 5.08, strike rate 36.8.
