Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
7 of 13 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · 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
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.09 per match at 18.3, economy 3.47, strike rate 31.6.
