Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
3 of 5 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.17 per match at 25.5, economy 3.98, strike rate 38.3.
