- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.7 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 21 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 0.13 catches per match over 55 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 54% 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 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 22 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 1.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.76 per match at 18.9, economy 3.98, strike rate 28.5.
