Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.3 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 42 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 20% 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 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 (3rd grade 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.72 per match at 20.9, economy 3.71, strike rate 33.7.
