Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.3 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.3 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 5.64 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.07 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 14% 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 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 5.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.43 per match at 32.7, economy 5.64, strike rate 34.8.
