Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 84 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
40 of 56 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 102 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 84 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 96 wickets in 82 matches bowled in (of 102 played) — 1.17 per match at 20.7, economy 4.11, strike rate 30.2.
