Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.3 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 31 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.
1.1 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.
Going at 5.71 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.08 catches per match over 62 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 12 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 5.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.50 per match at 28.9, economy 5.71, strike rate 30.3.
