Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.2 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 33 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.88 per match at 15.3, economy 5.15, strike rate 17.9.
