Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 4.5 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 of 4 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 13.7.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 4.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
31 wickets in 21 matches — 1.48 per match at 13.7, economy 4.23, strike rate 19.4.
