Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
17 of 23 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 23% 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 — 11 catches in 29 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.00 per match at 19.2, economy 4.02, strike rate 28.7.
