Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
8 of 15 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 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.69 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · Club 16). 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: 7 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.52 per match at 24.9, economy 4.42, strike rate 33.8.
