Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 11 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.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 25 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 94.8 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
