high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
20 of 27 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 42). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.22 per match at 16.2, economy 5.43, strike rate 17.9.
