Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
2 of 3 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
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 8 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 90 runs in 5 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 100.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.14 per match at 20.4, economy 3.62, strike rate 33.8.
