Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.0 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.98 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.10 catches per match over 40 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 50.5 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.80 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
