Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 6.3 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.76 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 30% 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 15.8.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.28 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 56 innings at 6.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
47 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.85 per match at 15.8, economy 5.76, strike rate 16.5.
