Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 13 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.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 20 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.63 per match at 20.6, economy 4.28, strike rate 28.8.
