Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.9 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 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.
Out for 0 in 38% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 25 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.32 per match at 20.4, economy 5.09, strike rate 24.0.
