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 Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.23 dismissals per match across 31 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 25 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
35 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.21 per match at 15.5, economy 3.15, strike rate 29.5.
