Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.9 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 16 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.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.84 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 30 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 60.7 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.47 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
