Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.28 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.13 catches per match over 16 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.
8 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 16). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.08 per match at 26.9, economy 6.28, strike rate 25.7.
