- ● Regional representative — 6 matches (+0.9)
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.1 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 11 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 14 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 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 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 (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.67 per match at 36.5, economy 4.56, strike rate 48.0.
