Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 9 imported matches (+0.2)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 48.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 7 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 14.3.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.63.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 5 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
185 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 26.0, strike rate 48.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
7 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.00 per match at 14.3, economy 2.63, strike rate 32.6.
