Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.3 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 13 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 0.06 catches per match over 32 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 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.26 for the level played (Club 14 · 5th grade and below 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 3.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.53 per match at 19.0, economy 3.44, strike rate 33.2.
