Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 14 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.
0.8 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.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 31 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.93 per match at 13.5, economy 4.19, strike rate 19.3.
