Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 60 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
31 of 52 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 8 run outs (5 direct, 3 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.05 per match at 13.9, economy 3.27, strike rate 25.5.
