Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.3 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.79 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.79.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 40 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
52 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.21 per match at 20.6, economy 2.79, strike rate 44.3.
