Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

2 of 4 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 3.27 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info General
Small sample size

Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 4 innings at 3.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
18 wickets in 16 matches — 1.12 per match at 23.6, economy 3.27, strike rate 43.3.
