Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.43 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.09 catches per match over 11 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 14.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
