Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.4 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 6 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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.72 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 9 matches (0.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.26 for the level played (Club 1 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.67 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 7 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
8 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.00 per match at 29.8, economy 3.72, strike rate 48.0.
