Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.3 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 5.65 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 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 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.64 per match at 26.9, economy 5.65, strike rate 28.6.
