Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
7 of 11 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.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.17 dismissals per match across 30 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 7 · Club 22 · 4th grade 1). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.66 per match at 36.3, economy 4.08, strike rate 53.4.
