Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.20 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.94 per match at 22.7, economy 3.20, strike rate 42.5.
