Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.7 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
17 of 34 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.
1.8 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 0.05 catches per match over 61 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 30% 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 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 53). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 3.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.35 per match at 35.2, economy 4.46, strike rate 47.4.
