Bowling
Conceding too many extras
1.0 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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 58 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (State competition 9 · 1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 28 · 2nd grade 6 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.50 per match at 20.5, economy 4.09, strike rate 30.0.
