Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 15 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.
0.9 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 0.06 catches per match over 48 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 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 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 34 wickets from 116.7 overs across 48 matches — 0.71 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
