Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.0 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 20 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
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.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 23 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 19). 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: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 28.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
