Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.6 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.70 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.07 catches per match over 29 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 22% 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 48 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.88 per match at 27.5, economy 5.70, strike rate 28.9.
