Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 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 0.06 catches per match over 50 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.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · Club 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.57 per match at 20.0, economy 3.71, strike rate 32.3.
