Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
10 of 20 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.
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 6.29 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 23 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 23). 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
- Keeping: 8 catches + 3 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.52 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 322 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 16.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 24.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.26 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
