Critical recommendations
4 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.
0.8 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.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 30.9 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 99.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 35 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 74 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- 596 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 30.9, strike rate 99.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
