Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
14 of 27 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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 119.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 899 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 33.0, strike rate 77.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.47 per match at 17.2, economy 4.32, strike rate 23.8.
