Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.8 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 6 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.
1.0 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 0.00 catches per match over 12 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 16 × 30%. 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 12 matches — 0.25 per match at 75.3, economy 4.91, strike rate 92.0.
