Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.0 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 43 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.54 per match at 24.6, economy 5.08, strike rate 29.0.
