Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 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.
1.4 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (State competition 1 · Rep Div 1 18 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.79 per match at 14.0, economy 4.88, strike rate 17.2.
