Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 12.7 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

6 of 11 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.78 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 18 matches (0.78 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.89 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
25 wickets in 18 matches — 1.39 per match at 17.3, economy 3.96, strike rate 26.2.
