Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
3 of 3 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 31 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 4). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 52 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 11.7, strike rate 41.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.67 per match at 17.2, economy 3.12, strike rate 33.1.
