Critical recommendations
12 of 22 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.
Going at 6.23 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 42.9 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 118.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 85 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 1,335 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 42.9, strike rate 118.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.94 per match at 19.7, economy 6.23, strike rate 19.0.
