Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.2 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 8 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.
1.5 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 8.48 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 20% 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 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 10). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 5.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 25.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.62 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
