Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
4 of 5 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 (3rd grade 1 · Club 6 · 4th grade 1). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 8 matches — 2.12 per match at 15.5, economy 2.98, strike rate 31.3.
