Critical recommendations
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.51 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
7 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 135.3) without sacrificing consistency.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 305 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 135.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 45.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
