Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.0 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 17 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.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 39 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 10% 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 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 39 matches — 0.64 per match at 21.8, economy 5.24, strike rate 25.0.
