Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 7 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.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 10 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 38% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
70% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 25 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.73 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.43 per match at 40.0, economy 4.04, strike rate 59.3.
