Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.7 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 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.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 50 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.
Out for 0 in 31% 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 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 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 50). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 4.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.45 per match at 27.3, economy 4.54, strike rate 36.0.
