Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 29 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 31 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 29 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 29 matches — 1.45 per match at 19.1, economy 3.13, strike rate 36.7.
