Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.81 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 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
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 14). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.00 per match at 24.2, economy 5.81, strike rate 24.9.
