Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 2.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
4 of 5 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 11.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 23). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 2.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.43 per match at 11.3, economy 4.01, strike rate 16.9.
