Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
10 of 17 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 123.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 23 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 379 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 22.2, strike rate 84.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.32 per match at 13.0, economy 2.92, strike rate 26.7.
