Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.0 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.44 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.10 catches per match over 41 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.86 per match at 25.9, economy 6.44, strike rate 24.2.
