Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% 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 3.67 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 44.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
384 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 44.4, strike rate 81.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
14 wickets in 12 matches — 1.17 per match at 26.6, economy 3.67, strike rate 43.4.
