Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 28 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.
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 5.62 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 13% 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 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.33 per match at 42.2, economy 5.62, strike rate 45.1.
