Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 28.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 8 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.
1.6 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 5.86 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.20 dismissals per match across 30 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.42 per match at 50.4, economy 5.86, strike rate 51.6.
