Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 28 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 0.11 catches per match over 53 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 14 run outs (3 direct, 11 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.72 per match at 13.8, economy 4.21, strike rate 19.7.
