Critical recommendations

Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (National competition 13 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.86 per match at 16.3, economy 4.22, strike rate 23.2.
