Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 of 26 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.
Out for 0 in 32% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.18 dismissals per match across 60 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 22 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.45 per match at 31.6, economy 5.05, strike rate 37.5.
