Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 48 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 26 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 0.07 catches per match over 61 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 26 wickets from 91.7 overs across 35 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.74 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
