Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 47 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 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (State competition 12 · Rep Div 1 1 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.76 per match at 27.1, economy 5.30, strike rate 30.7.
