Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.78 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.05 catches per match over 42 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.73 per match at 21.4, economy 5.78, strike rate 22.2.
