Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 8 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.
1.0 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.
Going at 6.16 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 11% 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 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.56 per match at 30.4, economy 6.16, strike rate 29.6.
