Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.1 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.87 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 25). 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: 8 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
15 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.75 per match at 20.7, economy 5.87, strike rate 21.2.
