Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
19 of 33 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.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 51 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.91 per match at 26.0, economy 4.03, strike rate 38.7.
