Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.7 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).
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 9 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 31 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 47 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 13 run outs (4 direct, 9 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.34 per match at 36.8, economy 5.86, strike rate 37.7.
