Critical recommendations
11 of 21 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.
1.4 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 6.87 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 32 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 8 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 21 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.25 per match at 63.3, economy 6.87, strike rate 55.3.
