Critical recommendations
6 of 11 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.
1.0 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 7.14 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 126.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 20 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 25 × 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 20). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 453 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 36.1, strike rate 126.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.59 per match at 38.3, economy 7.14, strike rate 32.2.
