Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 25 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.55 per match at 23.1, economy 3.47, strike rate 39.9.
