Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 29 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.
Going at 5.83 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 40 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 40% 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 34 × 30%. 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 32 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.56 per match at 33.4, economy 5.83, strike rate 34.4.
