Working on Basics
not rated — working on basics

- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 1.98 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 161.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (2nd grade 13 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 808 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 38.4, strike rate 77.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 20 wickets from 141.7 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
