Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
11 of 14 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 33 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.84 per match at 13.5, economy 4.06, strike rate 19.9.
