Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

9 of 17 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 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.50 per match.
Batting
441 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 22.4, strike rate 80.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
24 wickets in 28 matches — 0.86 per match at 23.5, economy 3.46, strike rate 40.9.
