Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 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 0.12 catches per match over 43 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.
Economy of 2.33 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.33.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 23 · Club 2 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.39 per match at 16.1, economy 2.33, strike rate 41.4.
