Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.4 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

9 of 18 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 Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 32% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.25 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
268 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 14.4, strike rate 88.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
25 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.04 per match at 21.8, economy 3.25, strike rate 40.3.
