Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 54 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 3rd grade 6 · 4th grade 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.00 per match at 21.1, economy 3.74, strike rate 33.8.
