Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Conceding too many extras
0.8 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 2.00 per match at 12.3, economy 4.50, strike rate 16.3.
