Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 81 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.79 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 22 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 51 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 114 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 81 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 127 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 114 played) — 1.20 per match at 25.7, economy 3.79, strike rate 40.6.
