Critical recommendations
19 of 36 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 0.13 catches per match over 55 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 35 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 583 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 15.4, strike rate 75.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.49 per match at 26.2, economy 4.37, strike rate 36.0.
