Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.8 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
19 of 30 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.
1.3 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 0.08 catches per match over 49 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 35% 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 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 19 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.23 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 3.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.33 per match at 33.2, economy 4.50, strike rate 44.3.
