Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
10 of 19 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.
info
Fielding

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 33 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 76 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 291 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 14.9, strike rate 87.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.80 per match at 12.4, economy 3.49, strike rate 21.4.
