Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.8 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
73% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Economy of 3.62 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 18 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 2.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.06 per match at 25.9, economy 3.62, strike rate 42.9.
