Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.6 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 23 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 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 16 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 4 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.38 per match at 32.8, economy 4.69, strike rate 42.0.
