Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.04 catches per match over 27 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.
Economy of 3.57 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.32 per match at 29.0, economy 3.57, strike rate 48.8.
