Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 14 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 16). 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.58 per match at 10.0, economy 3.11, strike rate 19.3.
