Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 46 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 19% 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 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.49 per match at 20.6, economy 3.83, strike rate 32.2.
