Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.0 over 5 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.53 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 2 7 · Club 1). 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: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 6.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 8 matches — 0.75 per match at 26.5, economy 3.53, strike rate 45.0.
