Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.5 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 7.76 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.18 dismissals per match across 40 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 12 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 17 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.34 per match at 54.7, economy 7.76, strike rate 42.3.
