Critical recommendations
0.9 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 101.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 10 run outs (7 direct, 3 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 703 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 27.7, strike rate 101.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.49 per match at 19.4, economy 3.73, strike rate 31.2.
