Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.3 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 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.
0.8 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.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.20 dismissals per match across 41 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 (Rep Div 2 4 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.97 per match at 15.9, economy 4.60, strike rate 20.7.
