Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 48 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
23 of 41 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 0.11 catches per match over 64 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 19% 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 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 22 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.50 per match at 24.4, economy 4.46, strike rate 32.8.
