Conceding too many extras
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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 74 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 44 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 8 run outs (6 direct, 2 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 926 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 18.2, strike rate 77.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.87 per match at 10.8, economy 3.76, strike rate 17.2.
