Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.3 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 7.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.07 per match at 22.4, economy 4.30, strike rate 31.2.
