Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 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.
0.9 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.
Out for 0 in 15% 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 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 77.0 overs across 28 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.57 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
