Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
16 of 28 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 40 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 40). 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: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 40 matches — 0.78 per match at 16.9, economy 3.49, strike rate 29.1.
