Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.3 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 11 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.
5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 17.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.60 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
