Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.63 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.63.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 15 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 2 · 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 13.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 22 matches — 1.45 per match at 18.1, economy 2.63, strike rate 41.3.
