Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
5 of 10 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.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.49 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · Club 15 · 4th grade 3). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 71.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.73 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
