Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.5 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 10 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.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 39 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.19 per match at 18.7, economy 3.88, strike rate 28.8.
