Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 36 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 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 26 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.17 per match at 22.7, economy 4.76, strike rate 28.5.
