Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.6 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 8 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.
Going at 5.53 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.08 catches per match over 13 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 50% 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 10 × 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 13). 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: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 3.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 19.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
