Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 7.5 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

8 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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 3.23 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 13 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
13 wickets in 14 matches — 0.93 per match at 22.9, economy 3.23, strike rate 42.5.
