Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 24 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.
Only 0.02 catches per match over 44 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.05 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.88 per match at 22.4, economy 3.58, strike rate 37.6.
