Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.23 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 38 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 9 run outs (2 direct, 7 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.87 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.57 per match at 29.7, economy 6.23, strike rate 28.6.
