Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.1 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
20 of 31 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.
1.8 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 5.60 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.13 catches per match over 47 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 17% 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 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 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 47). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.48 per match at 31.0, economy 5.60, strike rate 33.2.
