Critical recommendations
12 of 23 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.
1.0 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 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.47 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 17.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 32 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.66 per match.
- Batting
- 464 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 19.3, strike rate 83.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.90 per match at 17.8, economy 5.32, strike rate 20.1.
