Critical recommendations
15 of 27 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.33 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (24.4) beats batting average (23.4) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 647 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 23.4, strike rate 69.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.20 per match at 24.4, economy 3.33, strike rate 44.0.
