Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 13.6 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 6 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

0.18 dismissals per match across 11 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 10 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
16 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.60 per match at 16.8, economy 4.80, strike rate 21.0.
