Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.9 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

3 of 6 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 Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 33% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 9 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
22 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.16 per match at 16.3, economy 4.37, strike rate 22.4.
