Critical recommendations
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.68 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
9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Club 17). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.88 per match at 24.6, economy 5.68, strike rate 26.0.
