Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3.0 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.
Going at 7.91 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 38% 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 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 5.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 9 matches — 0.44 per match at 45.5, economy 7.91, strike rate 34.5.
