Bowling
Conceding too many extras
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.

Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par
0.26 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 48 catches in 102 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 10 run outs (2 direct, 8 assisted) in 102 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 91 innings at 19.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 44 wickets from 195.8 overs across 77 matches bowled in (of 102 played) — 0.57 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
