Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.52 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 56 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 22% 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 33 wickets from 147.3 overs across 41 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.80 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
