Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.6 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 8.67 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.07 per match at 24.5, economy 8.67, strike rate 17.0.
