Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Going at 6.27 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 10 run outs (5 direct, 5 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 86.7 overs across 36 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.42 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
