Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.01 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.97 per match at 21.7, economy 3.01, strike rate 43.3.
