Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 27 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.
1.2 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 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 14.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 36 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.12 per match at 15.0, economy 4.30, strike rate 20.8.
