Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 43 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · 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
- ×0.74 for the level played (1st grade 28 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- 782 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 24.7, strike rate 68.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 20.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
