Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 26 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 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.16 dismissals per match across 55 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 9 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.32 per match at 41.6, economy 4.54, strike rate 54.9.
