Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.91 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.14 catches per match over 49 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 25% 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 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 8 run outs (5 direct, 3 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.38 per match at 49.1, economy 5.91, strike rate 49.8.
